I have no power door locks, key fob won't work, no radio, no dome lights, no high beams etc., and no crank. I have power going to start relay. Jumped at the relay and it did engage starter. I've checked all the grounds and all the fuses, and they are all good. The security pass lock does show when I turn the key but goes out. Also showing random warning lights. From what I have read it is pointing to the BCM. but am I missing something else to check?

Yep, I would say BCM as well but to be sure we should perform a CAN scan which is easy to do. You can get a CAN scanner (Controller Area Network) from Amazon for about $36.00.

Here is a video to show you how:

Here is how to change out the BCM in case you need it. You can get a rebuild preprogrammed BCM if you search google or eBay. Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.

Thanks for the response, it was in fact the BCM and I got to tell you next time I'm just going to pay someone to come to my house and scan it. I frustrated myself with the amount of time I spent testing tracking wires to the best of my abilities. But again, thanks for the response.
